Welcome to the Integratron

In the wee hours of Aug. 24, 1953,
George Van Tassel, a 43-year-old former aviation engineer, was awakened by a
man from outer space. The spaceman looked like a human. He informed Van Tassel
that his name was Solganda and that he was 700 years old. (He looked no older
than 28, Van Tassel said.) Van Tassel was ushered onto the spacecraft where he
was told that Earthlings’ reliance on metal building materials was interfering
with radio frequencies and disrupting interplanetary “thought transfers.”
Solganda also divulged a secret: a formula that Van Tassel could use to build a
remarkable machine, a device that would generate electrostatic energy to
suspend the laws of gravity, extend human life and facilitate high-speed time
travel. A circular, dome-topped
building, 38 feet tall and 55 feet in diameter, [was] constructed by Van Tassel
over the course of nearly two decades in accordance with the instructions of
his extraterrestrial architectural patron. The name that Van Tassel gave to his
time machine: the Integratron. It ... was constructed without nails,
screws, flashing or weather stripping. But it’s not the way the Integratron
looks that draws thousands to Landers each year. It’s how the place sounds. You
may not subscribe to Van Tassel’s [beliefs], but an Integratron sound bath will
startle your ears, and, perhaps, awaken your imagination. Beneath the wooden
dome, it seems at moments that you’re not listening to sound so much as
inhabiting it. It is, aesthetically speaking, extraterrestrial: a transportative
encounter with music, an experience of pure sound not quite of this earth.

Note: Watch an incredible video interview from
1964 of George Van
Tassel. In this interview, Van Tassel shares the equation he
claims given to him by an ET: F=1/T, Frequency = 1/Time. For more fascinating
equations received in a similar method, explore Wilbur Smith's essay "The New
Science." Read more on the Integraton in this 2015 article in
the Atlantic. And if you are eager for more, listen to a very
informative and revealing 50-minute
interview with Van Tassel. Fascinating stuff!!!
